WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT

ABOUT TECHNOLOGIES FROM

THE PROCESS OF

CONSTRUCTING THIS PRODUCT

?

Olivia Dexter

Throughout the production of my music magazine I have developed skills

within photography, InDesign and Photoshop.

Prior to the production of my magazine I had already a basic understanding of

how to use both Photoshop and InDesign as I had previously used both in

gsce. Initially I began making all of my magazine pages on

Photoshop, however I found it to limiting. When it came to the magazine

cover as there is little flexibility use images and boxes which are necessary to

make the cover eye-catching.

Within the photography section of my production I looked at images from front

covers, dps and contents pages before taking to images to show the models

what I wanted from them. It also gave me an idea of what types of images I

needed, to make the magazine successful.

PHOTOSHOPPhotoshop I used for my cover and

contents page. As Photoshop gave me the

necessary flexibility to make the pop

magazine exciting and attractive to the

target audience.

I began by removing the background from the image using the rubber tool. Then

moving the image onto a transparent background and using the magic wand to remove

the background. I then began editing the image. I used this method several times

within my production as all of my images required a form of editing.

I then used the buffer tool to clear my models skin and edited the saturation and

contrast in the picture. I also used this method several times within my production .

Applying drop shadow gives the

text more definition. I have also

applied an inner glow, outer glow,

inner shadow and inner glow to

the text to give it further

definition. This makes it stand out

more on a blank page

Through the production of my task I have learnt skills about setting

creating things such as a Double page spread, in this slide I am going to

demonstrate how my skills within this area have considerably improved.

First I began by creating a set of 3 pages and then entering text through

the use of a text box. Within my production I used the same format.

I then entered the text and images through the use of text boxes and

selecting the image of google.
